Great Goggles by Larry #WearableWednesday

It wasn’t too difficult, except that you need to be comfortable soldering small connections and you are a bit on your own in figuring out how to route the wires in the goggles. The red coil across the front is purely decorative.

He made them for his grandson, who will probably find some new inspiration for Halloween. What do you think he will be? We are thinking a Minion from Despicable Me. Larry’s next project? He’s shooting for our more recent tiara tutorial. This one is a beauty, but the real question is who will Larry be giving it to? Make sure you post a video with the wearer, Larry!!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
